First of all I would like to say, that I got two of them.
First case: I parked as usual and went to school. I paid for a parking (Premier Parking) and came back far before my ticket expired. I found a Parking Charge Notice on the door for "No permit on the display". I were using this car park very often and it's "pay and display", so I don't know why I got this. I still have a ticked I bought at the machine. I ignored letters which came, because I paid for this car park. Now I got this message from Debt Recovery Plus Ltd about "court action".
Second case: I did not get any ticket/notice at the car park. I parked as usual, next to many other cars in a free parking space. I paid (I should still have a ticket from the machine somewhere). Then I started to get some Penalty charge notices about "Parking in no parking area". I parked at the car park as usual, so this accusation is rubbish. I have photographs (just in case) how everybody are parking there and nothing happened, because - this is a car park! Is it legal to send to random people false Charge Notices? Or maybe they just used my data illegally to produce the second letter? I'm not parking there anymore, because I paid, I parked properly and now they are chasing me!
What should I do now? The letters are the same and they says:
"Notice of intended court action - unpaid parking charge £150.
We refer to our letter dated 29/01/2015 (and 28/01/2015 as I remember) and note that we have not yet received payment pf the amount shown above.
To prevent this case being passed to the creditor's solicitor to commence court proceedings, you must pay the full amount of £150 by 02/03/2015 (see overleaf for more information regarding liability for this charge). You can pay online or by phone. Go to www.debtrecoveryplus.co.uk/pay or phone 08445610965. Full details how to pay are shown on the back of this letter. If you have difficulty paying or believe you are not liable for this charge, please phone our payment helpline on 08445610965 to discuss payment options.
What if you don't pay what you owe
If you are liable for this charge and do not pay the full amount by 02/03/2015, or if you have not agreed a payment option with us by then, we will pass your file to the creditor's solicitor with a recommendation to commence court action against you. A Court Judgment against you could seriously affect your ability to obtain credit in the future.
Please note that, if the case goes to court and you are ordered to pay the parking charge, we may seek to recover additional amounts from you as well as the parking charge. Thoseamounts would be court fees of £25 and solicitor's costs of £50.

How can I defense that? I didn't break their rules, I just got the letters (and as I mentioned before once I didn't gat any notice at the car park). I even can't speak english very well, so I don't get most of the "law" stuff
